Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: so frustrated :'( any suggestions?

I don't know that I'll be much help, but to get the ball rolling, why do you feel you can't tell anyone about your IBS?

It sounds like your life is pretty stressful. I wonder if being able to get out on your own would ease the stress and help the IBS somewhat? Just something to think about.

What are some other things about the job opportunity that appeal to you besides the money? Would it be better experience? Better work conditions? What would the commute be like? Do you know anyone who works there who could tell you what the place is like? You don't have to answer these questions on the board if you don't want to, but they're some things to think about.

When my IBS was at its worst, even with a short commute, getting to the office wasn't always the easiest. To help some, I got up a little earlier, made sure I had everything ready for the next day before I went to bed as much as I could, and I did not eat breakfast until I got to work. Fiber in the morning was essential to me being able to make it out the door, and even then sometimes I still needed some Pepto Bismal on top of that. In short, I do understand mornings being rough.

Hang in there!!
